the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 991: The Shaw Family Is a Bank—Why Buy a House?

The charity event ended quickly, and Crystal Landon got into Richard Shaw’s Hummer. If she wasn’t worried about displeasing Richard, she would have shouted to those young ladies that the co-pilot seat of Major General Shaw was for rent - 2 million for a ride home, 5 million for a joyride, and 10 million for a chat. Then she could buy a house in the Imperial City in no time.

She rested her small head and giggled. Over the years, for some reason, the lonelier she felt, the more she wanted to buy a house, to have a stable home, a place to stay. Living temporarily at the Shaw Mansion wasn’t a long-term solution.

When Richard Shaw got in the car, he saw her daydreaming with her head resting on her hand.

As the man got in the car and was about to start the engine to drive back to the Shaw Mansion, he saw Crystal Landon quickly open the door and dash away.

Richard saw her gaze instantly land on Drake Howard, and his expression slightly darkened. Crystal seemed different when it came to Drake from the Howard Family.

After all, she was a young girl, fickle, liking one today and another tomorrow. The man lit a cigarette, took a drag, casually resting his left hand on the car window, a deep gaze in his eyes.

"Richard, I accidentally twisted my ankle just now. Could you take me to the hospital?" Pearl Landon limped over and said through the car window.

Richard paused in his smoking, seeing her with her bag, limping painfully, her face pale and expression very distressed. He nodded silently, let her get in the car, put out the cigarette, and drove Pearl to the hospital.

After getting out of the car, Crystal ran directly towards Caspian Howard. She was wearing high heels, so she ran slowly and could only wave and shout his name.

Drake was earnestly advising Hawk Howard, saying, "Fourth brother, that little girl from the Landon Family is indeed very pretty, but she’s too unruly, hard to control." After all, Drake had witnessed Crystal’s fierceness firsthand at the bar last time, where she stomped on one girl and pulled another’s hair.

"I can handle her," Hawk smiled. After all, they had raced several times, and he basically always won. Plus, he was the one who marked her English test with the big red X’s. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"This little girl is quite a spendthrift. You see, the Landon Family spent 20 million in one night, she’s not easy to support." Drake said with a bitter expression.

"Third brother, my salary is decent. I was recruited back by the research institute as a special talent, plus I’ve made some investments abroad over the years; I can afford it." Hawk continued to smile.

Drake’s expression turned even more bitter as he sighed, "The little girl likes Richard Shaw. It’s not right to take what’s cherished by another."

"Richard Shaw doesn’t like her," Hawk smiled gracefully as always.

Damn, why is he so stubborn and can’t be persuaded? If Caspian really marries Crystal, the old lady would skin him alive.

"Caspian, Caspian," Drake was about to continue persuading when he saw Crystal excitedly running over waving, saying, "Wait for me a bit."

Hawk stopped in his tracks, a handsome smile on his face, and said lightly, "What is it?"

"I’m looking for some information. I want to buy a house," Crystal ran over, panting and smiling. "I forgot I can pay in installments. As long as a bank gives me a loan, I can buy a house."

Drake: "..."

Hawk smiled, a loan? Only she could think of that.

"What specific requirements do you have? I’ll help you look into it." Hawk nodded.

"Crystal, you’re so young, what house are you buying? When you marry into the Shaw Family, the Shaw Family is like a bank, why buy a house?" Drake tried to force a smile, not wanting his family’s fourth to get in deeper.
